Uppsala Life science community

The region of Uppsala (Sweden) is the intermediate region with the highest overall position – sixth place– just ahead of one of the urban regions. The presence of a large university and life science sector helps to explain why Uppsala has the highest proportion of people with tertiary education and the highest level of R&D investment per capita of the intermediate regions. The region also benefits from the proximity of the capital region of Stockholm and Arlanda Airport, which contributes to Uppsala’s high net migration rate.

INSIGHT MACHINE
Decisions should be made with solid foundations. In the role of making significant strategic choices, we need to understand and carefully study conditions and changes over time, as well as be able to compare ourselves with others – as a community.

Therefore, we have developed a database to provide us with these foundations – the Insight Machine. However, insights must come from questions and curiosity—and thrive well as crowd-sourcing—thus, we choose to have significant parts of the database open to you.
